Barnett, Katherine P.; And Others
Psychology in the Schools, v33 n4 p285-93 Oct 1996
Explores grade retention rates among children with undiagnosed learning disabilities (LD). Data collected on 344 students referred for special-education evaluation revealed that, of the 201 who possessed an LD, 71.6% had been retained at least once.
